Abstract: | A careful review of the history of research on global strategy and cross-cultural management reveals that considerable attention
has been paid to the functioning of organizations located in the Asian context in comparison with their Western counterparts.
While research in this tradition has generated some useful insights, there is a need for improving robustness of management
theories that are applicable in the Asian context. In this paper, we advance a taxonomy of cross-cultural management theories
and suggest methods of deriving research propositions well-grounded in the latest findings in cross-cultural research. It
is suggested that robustness of management theories that are uniquely applicable to the Asia Pacific countries is best achieved
by addressing the complex interplay of cultural variations found in these countries with globalization-related influences. |
